One of the members from my 4WD Club asked if we could take a few of the dad's in his local high school Father's Group out and teach them about 4WDing. They all owned a 4WD but hadn't ever done much off roading so myself and one member from my Club took them out and ran them through the basics...

Here is Australia there are lots of knock off versions of the ARB tent - I have one for the 2.5 x 2m awning and picked it up on sale for about $150 AUD. Have used it once - it is a bit of a pain to set up by myself but that is due to carrying some old injuries but if two people are doing it, it...
